Mellen snorted, giving him no friendly look whatsoever.

The immortals in the celestial realm vary greatly in ability. If it were not Melon standing here at this moment, but an immortal with supernatural powers, he would not be able to fight across levels.

Then, it seems that this identity from the upper realm will not only fail to intimidate Xuan Yi, but may even subject him to control.

The benefits of worshipping an immortal from the upper realm are completely different from those of controlling an immortal from the upper realm. The difference in benefits is enough to make Xuan Yi take the risk and test the waters.

Furthermore, not all so-called immortals from the upper realm have powerful backers. If Xuan Yi were to succeed, he wouldn't immediately reveal his evil intentions. Instead, he would keep the person from the upper realm under house arrest while treating him to good food and drink, and then investigate whether he had any powerful backers.

If there is such a relationship, and it's one you can't afford to offend, then naturally you'll try to mend things. But if there isn't, you'll probably act completely differently.

You should know that the Cangyue cultivation world is a place that devours people.

As for whether doing so will offend people?

The path to immortality is fraught with peril, and the road to eternal life is arduous!

If you're afraid of offending people, why bother cultivating immortality, seeking the Dao, or pursuing eternal life?!

But now that Mellen has shown absolute strength, Xuan Yi immediately changed his attitude, becoming as obsequious as could be.

Mellen naturally understood this, but he didn't care.

He calmly said, "I came to the Azure Moon Realm on a mission. Now I need to use the resources of the Jade Purity Sect to cultivate. You have no objection, right?"

Xuan Yi's expression froze, but when he saw Mellen's calm eyes, he couldn't utter any rebuttals or questions. He said with difficulty, "I will obey Your Majesty's decree."

Mellen showed a satisfied expression and said, "Don't worry, I won't use your things for nothing. Once I complete the mission and return to the Immortal Realm, I will return tenfold all the expenses incurred during the process."

Xuan Yi was somewhat comforted. Regardless of whether what Mellen said was true or not, it was still a promise.

Ignoring Xuan Yi's thoughts, Mellen flew straight towards the most abundant spiritual vein of the Jade Purity Sect.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Yi's heart stirred. The most abundant spiritual vein in the Jade Purity Sect was naturally his usual cultivation cave. Over the hundreds of years since he achieved the Nascent Soul Realm, he had set up countless formations within it. If Mellen were to rashly step into it, then…

Just as Xuan Yi was lost in thought, he suddenly saw Mellen give him a half-smile. He was jolted awake and quickly banished his bad thoughts.

Xuan Yi caught up and said respectfully, "My lord, the cave where I usually cultivate is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy of the Jade Purity Sect. I will remove the formation of the cave for you now."

"No need," Mellen said calmly.

In order to completely dispel Xuan Yi's little schemes and prevent him from jumping out to bother him from time to time in the future, Mellen naturally wanted to completely intimidate him once and for all.

Mellen extended a finger and pointed it at the void in front of him. Instantly, a surge of magical power exploded, transforming into countless threads.

These threads seemed to possess a self-awareness, precisely penetrating the array and restrictions of Xuan Yi Cave and beginning to modify and assimilate them.

In just a few minutes, the entire layout inside and outside Xuan Yi Cave was completely altered.

Xuan Yi felt his hundreds of years of planning slipping out of his control in such a short time. His eyes twitched, but he dared not make the slightest move.

Chapter 728 Organizing Cultivation Techniques, Eerie Ancient Tree

The shadows of Xianyuntan are lingering, and things change for a few times in autumn.

Given Mellen's level of cultivation, and with ample resources, once he enters a state of seclusion for cultivation, it usually lasts for years.

However, the situation in the Azure Moon Realm is special, and Mellen will not enter into deep seclusion.

After reaching an agreement with the Jade Purity Sect, Mellen first read through all of the Jade Purity Sect's scriptures, including the complete version of the Jade Light Circulation Method and the Jade Purity Sect's true core inheritance... the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Record.

In addition, all the extraordinary skills and secret techniques of the Jade Purity Seven Meridians, as well as the various external martial arts techniques or ancient fragments that he had collected, were also taken into Mei Lun's possession.

Although the Jade Light Circulation Technique is only a simplified version of the core technique, it still has a complete chapter from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, and it also includes many ingenious ideas.

The Nine Heavens Jade Purity Record is a cultivation technique that can directly lead to the Nascent Soul Realm. Furthermore, the Nascent Soul Realm is merely the limit of the Azure Moon Realm, not the limit of the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Record.

The Jade Purity Sect is merely a branch sect of the Azure Moon Realm; it also has its main sect in the Immortal Realm.

With these resources and the abundance of cultivation materials, Mellen's cultivation progressed rapidly. In just one month, he reached the peak of the Core Formation stage and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Mellen did not rush to break through, but instead reorganized the cultivation techniques he had obtained.

Mellen discovered that in the process of sorting out the cultivation method from scratch and creating his own, his understanding of the word "immortal path" became more and more profound, and he vaguely felt a sense of seeing the moon through the clouds, and a wonderful inspiration sprouted in his mind.

Mellen instinctively felt that continuing this process would greatly benefit him.

While Mellen was diligently cultivating and creating his own methods, news of him exploded like a bombshell within the Jade Purity Sect and its affiliated forces.

After all, when Mellen returned to the Jade Purity Sect in a high-profile manner, he made no attempt to conceal his victory. Not only did he defeat all the Core Formation cultivators in full view of everyone, but even the Xuan Yi Ancestor was forced to admit defeat.

The Mei family was the most bewildered, bombarded with news and completely lost. The family's top leaders were all in a daze during this period.

Even those forces that came to curry favor after receiving the news were left unsure of how to handle by the Mei family. They were caught between accepting the gifts and goodwill that came their way and refusing them.

Fortunately, the Mei family was not entirely unaware of the current changes. Although Mei Lun had used a mind control technique to control Mei Zhihong, so much time had passed that the control had long since dissipated. In addition, the embezzlement of public funds had come to light, and Mei Zhihong was already under investigation by the family.

Of course, before this, not many people in the Mei family believed Mei Zhihong's claim that he was controlled by a junior member of the Mei family, which led him to do all sorts of absurd things, and they were still gradually investigating and confirming the claim.

But after considering all these factors, the Mei family finally came to a conclusion: either the Mei family's 'Meilun' had been possessed by someone else, or he was a reincarnation of a powerful being who had now solved the mystery of his birth and awakened his innate wisdom.

Currently, the second possibility seems more likely.

If that's really the case, then as long as the Mei family can ascertain the nature of this reincarnated powerful being, they might be able to inherit this legacy. At that time, the Mei family will truly soar to great heights.

Mellen was unaware of and unconcerned about the subsequent commotion. As for the Mel family's cautious probing, he simply responded that they would give them some appropriate benefits.

Although Mellen was not reincarnated or possessed, he ultimately used the power of immortal magic to take over the identity of the Mellen family, which is why his initial actions went relatively smoothly, and repaying this small favor was just a matter of a word from him.

After three days of revision, Mellen has perfected the [Nine Revolutions of the Star River]. Many cultivation methods from the Azure Moon Realm have become secondary, while the main body has been replaced with various supernatural powers and secret manuals from the Immortal Realm.

Unfortunately, while the new version, [Nine Revolutions of the Galaxy], could solidify Mellen's foundation, he ultimately failed to grasp the inspiration that arose in his heart.

However, these things cannot be forced. Now, Mellen has a vague sense of direction and knows how to move forward in the future.

When Mellen advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, a celestial phenomenon of tribulation clouds appeared within a hundred miles in an instant. However, the celestial phenomenon of tribulation clouds only lasted for a short while before dissipating on its own. After all, Mellen was only recovering his cultivation and did not need to undergo the tribulation of the Azure Moon Realm.

Having advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the Jade Purity Sect was no longer of any use to Mellen. He left a jade slip in his cave and then departed.

Several days later, Xuan Yi sensed something was wrong and came to confirm with caution and respect, only to find that Mellen had already left, along with the jade slip he had left behind.

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Xuan Yi's face lit up with surprise, and he repeatedly bowed to the air in gratitude.

In the Azure Moon Realm, Nascent Soul cultivators are often elusive, as their cultivation has reached a point where they have only one ultimate goal: to ascend to the Immortal Realm. The troubles of the mortal world no longer concern them.

Therefore, the Nascent Soul Ancestor is already the pinnacle of the Azure Moon Realm.

Of course, although Mellen is only at the Nascent Soul stage now, with his supernatural abilities, he can defeat even those at the Divine Transformation stage or the Void Refinement stage.

Having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Mellen was able to unleash all the supernatural abilities he had learned, making his strength incomparable to what it was before.

Mellen sat cross-legged high in the sky, wisps of blood mist drifting from his body. After a moment of adjustment, these dissipating blood mists gradually subsided, revealing no unusual signs.

This is Mellen using the power of the Blood Sea to enhance his cultivation. Although the refining speed is far from reaching the limit of his output efficiency, it is already the limit that his current cultivation level can absorb and refine.

With the continuous power of the Blood Sea, it's as if Mellen is constantly absorbing Nascent Soul Pills, and his cultivation level is increasing every moment.

Moreover, as Mellen beckoned, the starlight was absorbed into his body, further accelerating the growth of his cultivation.

With these two "cheat codes," Mellen expects to advance to the Godhood realm in just twenty days.

That's right, the time required to go from Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation is shorter than that required to go from Core Formation to Nascent Soul.

If Mellen can find suitable rare and precious materials for Nascent Soul cultivation during this period, the required time can be further shortened.

However, that level of rare and precious materials is extremely rare in the Cangyue Realm, belonging to the category of being something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

After finishing these trivial matters, a golden light emanated from Mellen's fingertips as he drew a rune in the void, causing a subtle spatial fluctuation to ripple outwards.

Almost instantly, Mellen received three responses, and a little while later, three more messages arrived in succession.

In this joint trial, the Golden Jade Immortal Sect sent a total of six True Immortals, including Mei Lun and Jun Tianqi. They had agreed to share information while they were outside. The void rune that Mei Lun had previously inscribed was the Golden Jade Immortal Sect's supernatural power for identity verification and information transmission.

To unleash such a divine power requires a certain level of strength, which translates to a cultivation level of at least Nascent Soul in the Azure Moon Realm. With three responses, it means that three of Mellen's True Immortal senior brothers have already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, while the other two have not yet arrived.

After reading the message, Mellen had a preliminary understanding of the current situation of his senior brothers.

As expected, one of the senior brothers was Jun Tianqi. Jun Tianqi wielded the Yuan Tu and A Bi, two innate spiritual treasures of the Great Dao of Slaughter, so he could be said to have no taboos. He had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage half a month ago and had gone to track down Mellen's enemies.

The other two senior brothers focused on gathering intelligence on the alien demons. When Mellen came online, he naturally sent over all the information he had gathered.

Mellen was naturally grateful. After summarizing this information, he communicated with the dogs who had gone out, redistributed the tasks, and then chose a direction to follow the trail of the Otherworldly Demon.

A few days later, Mellen stopped and, sensing the message from the forest wolf, replied after a moment's thought: "Don't move around there, I'll be right there."

Half a day later, Mellen met Senlang, who threw his head into Mellen's arms.

After playing around with the wolf for a while, Mellen got down to business.

A leaf floated out from the Eternal Tree, upon which rested a dozen or so wisps of gray-black energy of varying sizes—these were the fruits of the Forest Wolf's labor over the past period.

Mellen withdrew the gray-black energy, then looked solemnly into the distance. More than ten miles away, there was a dilapidated ancient city. In the center of the city stood a strange ancient tree, which was also a demon.

Moreover, unlike the minor disturbances encountered before, the eerie ancient tree has grown to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, possessing not only powerful and bizarre rules, but also integrated with the entire ancient city.

This kind of power is so great that it can run rampant in the Cangyue Realm. Not to mention the Nascent Soul stage, even a Void Refinement expert who appears only once every tens of thousands of years cannot do anything about it.

The Eternal Tree of the Forest Wolves could naturally restrain the Evil Ancient Tree, but the latter was, after all, a demon, and might have some strange methods. In order to prevent the prey from escaping, the message was passed on to Mellen.

Upon receiving the news, Mellen naturally rushed over immediately.

Mellen patted the wolf's head, and the two of them headed towards the dilapidated ancient city.

As he drew closer, a sense of fear rose in Mellen's heart. This fear was not Mellen's own, but rather the power emanating from the eerie ancient tree.

Mellen and Senlang were not bothered by such petty tricks. They calmly passed through the dilapidated city gate and entered the ancient city.

As seen from the outside, the interior of the ancient city is full of ruins, with broken walls and tiles everywhere, and almost no intact buildings in sight.

Furthermore, large patches of withered tree roots were entwined around the dilapidated buildings. These withered tree roots looked like trees that had been dead for a long time, with all the moisture inside dried out, and seemed so fragile that they would shatter at the slightest touch.

However, Mellen could sense a hidden, surging power emanating from these withered tree roots; they were alive!

Mellen nodded slightly to the Forest Wolf, who immediately understood. It shook its head, and the Eternal Tree swayed in response, sending down roots that began to spread across the earth.

Suddenly, as if realizing that an enemy was invading, the withered tree roots began to tremble. Soon, the trembling turned into a wild dance, and the withered tree roots revealed a ferocious appearance as they swept over Mellen and the forest wolf to attack.

At that moment, plump tree roots extended from the earth, intertwining with the withered tree roots.

The two types of tree roots fought fiercely. At first, the withered tree roots, which had an absolute numerical advantage, gained the upper hand, while the plump tree roots could only defend.

But gradually, the plump roots began to multiply, divide, and expand, drawing nutrients from the withered roots to grow, and soon gained a foothold and gradually gained the upper hand.

At this point, the wolf barked softly at Mellen, who laughed and said, "Don't worry, it won't get away. Let's go see the true form of this alien demon."

As Mellen and Senlang advanced, a road was erected in front of them, remaining calm and undisturbed despite the fierce fighting outside.

When Mellen and Senlang had walked halfway, the eerie ancient tree suddenly began to sway. Its branches, leaves, and roots gradually became transparent, but the withered roots that were entangled with the Eternal Tree were still fighting back fiercely.

It should be noted that at this time, the roots of the Eternal Tree had spread to almost half of the ancient city, and there were a great many withered tree roots entangled with it.

Clearly, the eerie ancient tree sensed the danger and prepared to abandon all of these withered roots.

However, Mellen would not let the strange ancient tree leave so easily. This level of demon is extremely rare in the Azure Moon Realm. It is probably very close to being the king of demons. There is a high probability that some clues can be found from it.

More importantly, although this strange ancient tree is weak, the rules it contains are extremely rare and powerful, which is a great benefit to the Eternal Divine Tree.

This is one of the reasons why the Forest Wolf insisted on leaving the eerie ancient tree behind.

Mellen extended his right hand, and a mass of nothingness and chaos gathered in his palm.

Just as the eerie ancient tree was about to disappear completely, Mellen whispered, "Suppress!"

The void and chaos suddenly burst open like a bubble, and an invisible spatial fluctuation swept in, enveloping the entire ancient city.

At the same time, the space seemed to be divided into two layers, an inner and an outer one...

Inside, Mellen lowered his hand and calmly watched the eerie ancient tree regain its physical form. The eerie ancient tree also seemed to be in a brief state of stagnation because its power had been interrupted.

Externally, the entire ancient city seemed to have been exiled to a void realm, enveloped by a layer of transparent bubbles. If you continued to raise your perspective, you would find that these bubbles were being held up by a giant hand, and further away, you could vaguely see a colossal figure that reached the heavens and the earth.

Mellen and the Wolf continued on their way.

As if realizing it couldn't escape, the eerie ancient tree launched a frenzied attack, mobilizing all the roots within the ancient city.

However, in the eyes of the Eternal Tree, this was always just a minor disturbance, a casual attempt to divide and erode the ancient tree's power, gradually absorbing and digesting its rules.

When Mellen and Senlang arrived before the eerie ancient tree, the entire ancient city had already been taken over by the Eternal Divine Tree, and a large number of plump roots were gathering and launching an attack on the eerie ancient tree, its source.

No matter how much the eerie ancient tree struggled, it could not escape its fate of being devoured.

Just minutes later, the plump roots completely covered the trunk and branches of the eerie ancient tree, shrinking as it was stirred, and eventually disappearing completely.
